The Future of Digital Mapping?


An interesting article from CNET Asia:
Two-dimensional maps are passé. Singapore users can expect full three-dimensional maps complete with realistic 3D rendering for their GPS devices in the second half of 2007.

Tele Atlas, a global provider of digital maps and dynamic content, today gave a preview to the media how 3D GPS navigation will look like in the near future. Besides turn-by-turn instructions, these three-dimensional maps will display realistic 3D rendering of architecture and points of interests, right down to individual store fronts on the streets.

Perhaps 3Dwalkthroughs.com will take that technology to the next level by letting the user actually walkthrough the rendered property.
